Such a beautiful and haunting music video. I love how at the end the protagonist takes control, it perfectly represents what it means to use your inner demons instead letting them control you

[sapphirachen]

Hi everyone, I'm one of the storyboard artists and animators who worked on this project. It's my favorite project to work on in this year! It's all about being honest with your fear and overcoming it. It's such an honor to work for a Siames video. My childhood dream came true! Thank you so much Siames for this amazing opportunity and for everyone who watched it. Also big thanks to MAKE's artist team. Yall amazing!

[Finkz]

This isn't "The Wolf 2"
This is Alone In The Darkness and it's perfect

[RainStripes]

Fun fact: This man is DEFINITELY not alone in that darkness.

[randmness]

This is a fascinating telling of being controlled by your demons and realizing you can control them in turn.

[dannyrobashkin]

Was a great experience developing this music video. Really getting to have the back and forth and pushing the ideas and design further while getting such cool insight into the song from the artists perspective. Congrats to Siames on an amazing single!

On the MAKE side, the artists did an incredible job creating some absolutely fantastic designs and animation, really pushing the camera work and transitions. The piece turned out so slick and I'm really proud of what they accomplished!

[latabernadeBel]

I love how the way he discovers he can control his demons is when unintentionally he laugh with them.

[marcinmarszaek]

There is just something... hipnotizing about the way the demons dance around that guy... I wonder if that is intentional from the animators?
And the fact that the Demon King has red skin and blue eyes, opposite to the other demons, while blue eyes indicate that he is the most connected with the guy's soul and mind...
God is that mindblowing!

[lfamvs]

I love the small detail that he only sets himself free once he starts to laugh at his demons. Humor is a stronger weapon than most of us think it is <3

[galubyovo]

i am FOAMING at the mouth and rattling the bars of my enclosure

[cotykirbyslayr]

I’m loving the minimalistic design. it’s as impactful as “The Wolf”. I need more of this in my life. The music is amazing and I can’t wait to see what they give us next

[YOJOJO]

*microwaving several bowls of popcorn cause I know I’m gonna be rewatching*

[KillRY]

This takes me 7 years back to The Wolf and I'm loving every second.

[pianishim]

The way this entire animation team COOKED I'm FLABBERGASTED---

[legoame]

The slower and more calm beat with a lack of more heavy intruments or notes really gives me a feeling of despair.
Like this isn't a song of someone rising against the odds but more like their downfall, someone that has accepted the way things are.
But then again accepting the reality is the first step in order to change it.

[luanalatte]

OMG PENSÉ QUE NUNCA SALDRÍA !!! La escuché en vivo en buenos aires 😭😭😭

[mateusvin]

I think it's a beautiful way of saying that the demons we fight or run from are projections of our own making, therefore it's meaningless to run away from them because we are who control the demons that controls us.

[thegrayhippy]

Finally, a video worthy of challenging The Wolf. Another work of art! Congratulations SIAMÉS!

[Ouroboros_]

This is the perfect definition of how your greatest enemy in life is yourself. There's is nothing worse than self-doubt. Even if there is nothing wrong in your life, it haunts you over and over again. Stay healthy out there to whoever feels this, you are not alone.

[sketchynatalia]

Huge honor to have storyboarded and scripted for this. I hope it can offer some comfort to people who dance with their demons often, as I do 😝
